  The 
  candidate 
  is 
  then 
  led 
  within 
  the 
  inclosure 
  when 
  all 
  the 
  mem- 
  

   bers 
  of 
  the 
  society 
  arise 
  while 
  he 
  is 
  slowly 
  led 
  around 
  toward 
  the 
  

   southern 
  side 
  to 
  the 
  extreme 
  end 
  in 
  the 
  west, 
  thence 
  towai'd 
  the 
  

   right 
  and 
  back 
  along 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  to 
  the 
  point 
  of 
  beginning. 
  

   This 
  is 
  done 
  four 
  times. 
  As 
  he 
  starts 
  upon 
  his 
  march, 
  the 
  member 
  

   nearest 
  the 
  door 
  falls 
  in 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  procession, 
  each 
  member 
  contin- 
  

   uing 
  to 
  drop 
  in, 
  at 
  the 
  rear, 
  until 
  the 
  entire 
  assembly 
  is 
  in 
  motion. 
  

   During 
  this 
  movement 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  monotonous 
  drumming 
  upon 
  the 
  

   Mide' 
  drums 
  and 
  the 
  chief 
  officiating 
  priest 
  sings 
  : 
  

  

  Ni-sha-bon'-da 
  shkan 
  wig 
  -i-wam 
  ke-non 
  -deg, 
  

  

  I 
  go 
  through 
  [the] 
  "house" 
  the 
  long, 
  i. 
  e., 
  through 
  the 
  Mide'wigan. 
  

  

  At 
  the 
  fourth 
  circuit, 
  members 
  begin 
  to 
  stop 
  at 
  the 
  places 
  previously 
  

   occupied 
  by 
  them, 
  the 
  candidate 
  going 
  and 
  remaining 
  with 
  his 
  pre- 
  

   ceptor 
  to 
  a 
  point 
  just 
  inside 
  the 
  eastern 
  entrance, 
  while 
  the 
  four 
  offi- 
  

   ciating 
  priests 
  continue 
  around 
  toward 
  the 
  opposite 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  inclo- 
  

   sure 
  and 
  station 
  themselves 
  in 
  a 
  semicircle 
  just 
  beyond 
  the 
  degree 
  

   post, 
  and 
  facing 
  the 
  western 
  door. 
  Upon 
  the 
  ground 
  before 
  them 
  

   are 
  spread 
  blankets 
  and 
  similar 
  goods, 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  removed 
  

   from 
  the 
  beams 
  above, 
  and 
  upon 
  which 
  the 
  candidate 
  is 
  to 
  kneel. 
  

   He 
  is 
  then 
  led 
  to 
  the 
  western 
  extremity 
  of 
  the 
  inclosure 
  where 
  he
